This means your run can qualify you into some major events that ask for qualifying standards, such as the Peachtree Road Race and major marathons like New York or Boston.
On September 7th, 2024, Valdosta Fire Department will hold their 4th annual 9/11 5k Memorial Run in remembrance of the events that transpired on September 11, 2001. The event is meant to pay homage to those who lost their lives or the lives of loved ones and to acknowledge all the brave first responders who passed in the line of duty. The race will have a patriotic theme, and the Fire Department encourages community members to show their support by lining the racecourse with decorated signs and/or costumes.
